The film 'Future Remembrance. Photography and Image Arts in Ghana' by Tobias Wendl and Nancy du Plessis (1998) proposes an interesting examination of the significance and condition of photography in Ghana at the turn of the 1980s. Its authors considered such issues as the comprehension of realism and truth in photographs as well as the rank of the photographer. Although the statements made by assorted photographers make it possible to include the understanding of the photographic image into such concepts as indistinguishability (H-G. Gadamer), in the author's opinion they may be just as well treated as a special game played with realism, photography and reality.
